When Beast Machines came around, we pretty much thought that was the end of the Beast Wars line/logo. Not so! The logo lived on via the Mutant Beast Wars line, while the spirit lived on via the repainted Dinobots line, composed mainly of recolored Beast Wars Neo toys from Japan. Both tried to act like they were part of Beast Machines, but they're really just last gasp survivors of Beast Wars. It looks like the Beast Wars logo will be retired for good at the end of this year...but that's what we thought a year ago.

Dinobots

Deluxes - Dinotron, Striker, Triceradon and Airraptor: I only bought Dinotron, a recolor of BW Neo's Hardhead, as I had the originals of the other three. I comment on the other three in the review of Dinotron, though. There's some indication that TM Terrorsaur will be recolored and released as a Deluxe Dinobot.
Ultras - T-Wrecks and Magmatron: T-Wrecks is a recolor of the Ultra Megatron from Phase I, and Magmatron is a Target exclusive release of the BW Neo toy by the same name, see the Japanese section.

Mutant Beasts

All Mutant Beasts are Deluxe.
Razor Claw: A green raptor I can buy, but turning into a green wolverine? Sigh.
Poison Bite: Much nicer, the color scheme works well for both a fish and a scorpion, even though real barracuda aren't that garish.
Icebird: Contrary to my review, the robot head can turn, it just needs excessive force to get it started. Also, when transforming to owl mode, you have to turn the head until it clicks in order for the gimmick to work.
Soundwave: Fortunately they changed the colors at the last minute so we wouldn't have a green bat.
